Take everything that everyone has said with a grain of salt.
Different cities have completely different common stacks. For example where I am it's hardly worth knowing ASP.Net MVC because there's so many senior devs around who will convince managers that MVC is just a fad and we should stick with Web Forms.
Your best bet is to look at job listings local to you and see what they're looking for.

Kevin,
I was the same way not very long ago. I have a plan to get you going.
1. Research the Tech, and get conversant in what it actually does like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Technology Type
-------------------------------------------------------------
Javascript Web Scripting
Type Script Web Scripting (Compliesto js)
jQuery Navigate HTML without DOM
NODE JS Event Driven Asych programming languge for the web.
Angular JS Advanced java Script Framework
JSON XML replacement
BootStrap (front-end web framework)
AJAX Async HTML/Scripting
REST(ful) WebAPI Web Technology/Design pattern
ASP.NET MVC Web Technology/Design pattern
IOC/Dependency Injection (inversion of control) Advanced Coding Technique, separates the client from having to know the services info.
Entity Framework ORM Database mapper, Code gen.
CSS Presentation layer manipulation
Design Patterns Software Design Patterns
SQL Database/Language T-SQL
NoSQL Database in Memory
MongoDB Database in Memory
Redis in-memory data structure store, used as database, cache and message broker
Kafka publish-subscribe messaging (Think 100's of millions of messages and transactions)
Memcached in-memory key-value store for small chunks of arbitrary data
ActionScript Replaces Flash
HADOOP Big Data
Informatica Premier ETL tool
2. Start with Java Script, and pick them off one at a time.
Assuming you know C#, use this site to start a first web site. Commit 30 mins a day.
You have to actually write the code, not just read about it.
I know the list is long, but you dont have to code in all of them, the point is - get started.
AND Armed with a list like above, you should be able to become conversant in them.
w3schools . com has Quizzes you can take. Take the Java script quiz cold, and see what you score.
The getting started part, is hard. That List above is just a primer.
You need to add to it: For instance, Knockout.js is not on the list.. theres a lot more that are not
on there.
Just doing that research gets you conversant in the technology, then you have to do some work, but
dont try to do it all in one day. It doesnt work that way. 30 min a day, is a commitment you can do.
Where there's smoke, there's a Blue Screen of death.

Thank you
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

One more thing:
To answer your question, since you know windows well, I suggest this stack:
ASP.NET MVC5, TypeScript, (Compiles to java script but gives you an object model you are used to).
JavaScript - its just a must, but there are a lot of frameworks out there - Angular is going to rule the world I think.
Get your basic Northwind thing going on with SQL.
There are links on CP that will get your started, but you have to do the "Sub Homework" on Javascript.
Also - you may run into a "DEV OPS" Shop doing Aigile, scrum, Test Driven Development, and they
may be using Git Hub for Source control. nUnit, and nHibernate are 2 more you will probably need.
Here's how you read: Scan the text, dont labor over it. Think Speed read. You will pickup more than
you realize. Then go back over it, this time doing the code.
This is not the only way, but its a plan. Hopefully, I can give you that. This is doable.

Did Genghis have a “Khan do” attitude?
Late, for which I apologise - but Old Lady Support was required.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Was Genghis slogan, "Yes I Khan"?

I heard Genghis was friends with Carl IKhan.

Yes. It's to prevent Deep Email Thrombosis.
Somehow - and I have no idea how - she'd managed to add herself to the email blacklist, so mails wouldn't arrive or send...
Of course, she didn't mention the large error message she got every time she started her email program when she called me.

How is that even possible?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I have absolutely no idea.
Unfortunately, neither does she...

Which means you WILL be repeating the steps you did today.

What client was she using?

Until he tried to invade Japan. The Khan didn't because of a Khami Khaze.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You could say that he Khan-cared.

If he did, he wasn't very Khan did about it.
